How to Choose a Down Jacket

A down jacket keeps you warm. Whether you wear it under a shell in wet weather or by itself when it's cold and clear.

The type of down jacket you choose depends on what you're going to use it for. Backcountry skiing, backpacking, and climbing call for high-fil down, a performance fit, and the lightweight fabrics of a technical jacket. Comfort and style are more important for around town.
